Before create a target the IPA size was 6MB after add a new target the new size is 90MB. It's insane, what's going on?

I had to make several changes in order to run objective-c and swift

Instructions from the Apple website:

To import Swift code into Objective-C from the same framework

Under Build Settings, in Packaging, make sure the Defines Module setting for that framework target is set to Yes. Import the Swift code from that framework target into any Objective-C .m file within that framework target using this syntax and substituting the appropriate names:

#import "ProductName-Swift.h"

Simply creating a target cannot change the IPA size because an IPA is the result of compiling and archiving 1 target. It is what you embed in this target and its configuration that will have an impact on the size of the IPA, for instance:

  • Resources (images, videos)
  • Linked libraries and frameworks
  • Use of Swift as the Swift libraries will be embedded in the IPA
  • ARM Architectures in the build settings

You can rename your MyApp.ipa into MyApp.zip and unzip it to browse the content of your application and detect what is taking so much space.

You can also have a look at the Build Phases tab of your target in Xcode to see what is embedded in the IPA during the build.
